The glycine receptor (abbreviated as GlyR or GLR) is the receptor of the amino acid neurotransmitter glycine. GlyR is an ionotropic receptor that produces its effects through chloride currents.

Glycine receptors (GlyR) are ligand-activated Cl − ion channels mediating fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brainstem and spinal cord. 39 The GlyR antagonist strychnine has been used to abolish GlyR-mediated spontaneous currents and as a molecular target for volatile anaesthetics. 35,38 For example, applying strychnine before ...

The GlyR is a glycine‐gated chloride ion channel typically expressed on the surface of motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord, where it regulates neuronal excitability. Genetic loss of function results in hereditary hyperekplexia.

The inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. The GlyR comprises a pentameric complex that forms a chloride-selective transmembrane channel, which is predominantly expressed in the spinal cord and brain stem.

Sep 23, 2021 · Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are pentameric, ‘Cys-loop’ receptors that form chloride-permeable channels and mediate fast inhibitory signalling throughout the central nervous system 1, 2. In the...

The glycine receptor chloride channel (GlyR) is a member of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. Functional receptors of this family comprise five subunits and are important targets for neuroactive drugs.

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are pentameric ion channels that mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission. GlyRs are found in the central nervous system including the spinal cord, brain stem, and cerebellum, as well as in the retina, sperm, macrophages, hippocampus, cochlea, and …

In this review, we briefly describe the physiological roles and pharmacological properties of GlyRs. We then outline the methods commonly used to discover new GlyR-active compounds and review recent progress, in our laboratory and elsewhere, in developing GlyR-targeted analgesics.

The inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR)1 is a member of the nicotinicoid receptor superfamily that includes the inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid, type A, receptor (GABAAR) and the excitatory nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and serotonin, type 3, receptor (5-HT3R).

Aug 8, 2023 · Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are members of the Cys-loop receptors that constitute a major portion of neurotransmitter receptors in the human nervous system. GlyRs are found in the spinal cord and brain mediating locomotive, sensory and cognitive functions, and are targets for pharmaceutical development.
